It could have something to do with the squishiness of the balls, or the speed of your flywheel. Are you using any kinds of velocity control?

See if shooting the same ball changes the angle.
If that’s the case, then I think that it is the ball squishiness. Try adding rubber links on the hood. I’m not sure if it will work but its worth a try.
At the end of the season pls share the code, I wanna compare boom boom to bang bang!
No worries, English is a confusing language. What material are you using for your hood? It might be bending when you shoot. We had that problem with a single piece of polycarbonate earlier in the season. If you are using plastic and someone on your team can record slow-motion video, you might record a few slow-motion clips of your flywheel shooting a ball.
Some balls tend to stick to the flywheel longer. In our case, it’s the hard balls that stick more and launch at a higher angle. Try playing with the compression.
I believe the rubber links you put on worsened the issue because it is raising the angle for balls that are already high angled. Try to figure out how to lower the angle for those balls instead. Or you can reduce compression for those balls.
By the way, what angle are you launching at?
Is it possible for you to post some pictures, so if it is a physical issue, the VEX community will be able to help a little bit more. Sometimes there are things others see that we cannot see when we work on and watch our robots. 
Make sure that the balls are entering at a consistent speed and position and everything else besides the ball density about the launching of the balls are consistent.
Are you using flaps on the intake? Flaps have the tendency to slide past the balls, causing a change in compression which can change the distance/angle they fire out
